• Capacity:
  1TB
  A good choice for users who need a moderate amount of storage for documents, media files, software, and general computing tasks.

• Form Factor:
  3.5-inch
  Standard size for desktop hard drives, making it compatible with most desktop PCs.

  This provides fast enough speeds for everyday tasks, though not as fast as solid-state drives (SSDs).

  The 64MB cache improves read/write performance by temporarily storing frequently accessed data for quicker retrieval.

• RPM (Revolutions Per Minute):
  5400 RPM
  This speed is typical for WD Blue HDDs, offering a good balance of performance and energy efficiency for everyday tasks, but not as fast as 7200 RPM drives (commonly used in high-performance systems).

• Data Transfer Rate:
  The drive supports up to 150 MB/s data transfer rate, which is typical for a 5400 RPM drive.

• Dimensions:
  5.8 x 4 x 1 inches (147 x 101.6 x 25.4 mm)

  0°C to 60°C
  This temperature range ensures the drive operates efficiently within typical desktop environments.

• Storage Type:
  Hard Disk Drive (HDD)
  Unlike SSDs, HDDs use mechanical components to read and write data, which makes them slower but often more affordable for larger storage capacities.

• Warranty:
  Typically, 2 years limited warranty, but this may vary based on region or specific model.
